Do aromatase inhibitors negate any positive effects of test???

[R1187]

For instance, testosterone levels are known to have effects on libido and sexual endurance, but estrogen levels more than likely come into play as well.

Would using aromatase inhibitors with testosterone have a negative effect on libido?

Depends if it drops your estrogen to 0

I'm planning an upcoming test cycle at around 400mg/wk.

I REALLY REALLY want to kick it off with SD and use AIs, but a large part of me is also curious about what test alone will feel like.

It kinda sucks. Low estrogen and you look all cut up and vascular, but won't do much good if you've got the libido of a neutered dog.

Do what I did brother. A simple approach is use arimidex at 1mg ed starting 1 WEEK INTO cycle. Then drop your dose to .5mg ed, if your joints hurt go to .5eod and then E3D if you have too.

Arimidex takes about 4-7 days of 1mg doses to establish solid blood levels then depending on your body .5mg doses to maintain.

Me personally at 750mg of test it takes 1mg ed for 1 week then I drop to .5 eod. That's depending on what compounds I use with test but generally that is my sweet spot.

not to hyjack but does tet prop require less of an ai??

So you basically front loading arimidex. If your looking to have solid blood levels, why not just pre load .5mg ED for a week?

It takes longer to build the stable blood levels if you use a lower dose. 1mg ED is what I read from the studies and articles on arimidex.
